I think that Bike was a Bad decision for Harley, I read that they are not selling that Good,
I would not waste My Money or Time on one, for that much you can get a lot more Bike on a
Touring Model!

The Rocket looks like doo doo, the Rocker Custom is even worse!

I like the Rocker models, but the price tag is too high on them for what you get. I do not like the Crossbones at all and that price tag is even more laughable, they call it "The bare essential bike" but want to rape you on the sticker.

NO, not very good looking. Some many other good choices, like the Fat Bob.

The main thing that bugs me about the 'Rocker' is that damn speedo sticking out like that. Ruins the whole look of the bike for me. The fold away 'passenger seat' on the 'C' is a joke, also. A passengers a$$ is gonna be toast after more than a few miles. Can't imagine why they even put one on it. I predict a discontinuation within the next two years.

I dunno. Just can't warm up to it. Looks to me like a "I'd love a custom chopper, but can't afford one" type of bike. To each his own I guess, just ain't up my alley though.

It looks good, but I like the standard softail best in the softail line.

That helps a little...

I made no "personal" attacks ... just general. Tell the other 100 odd posters the same thing hey?

If they can't take it then they shouldn't give it. Seems fair to me. My father taught me that if I couldn't say something postive then say nothing, but he's not on this forum!

I spent 5 years looking at all the custom street bikes. Many of them are simply awesome but incredibly expensive. They also didn't have the HD name on the tank which I wanted and rarely have a pillion seat. When the Rocker was released on the Internet in June 07 I ordered one within a few days. It was pretty close to what I had always wanted. I had to wait a year to get one. The price here was equal to US$32,000 (on road), quite a bit more than the $20,000 that you guys pay. Worth every cent. Like my other Harley it's a work in progress.

It's a free world. If you don't like my bike then go ahead and criticise. Just expect the same crap back!

have a nice day )
